for the convention to answer these and more i'm joined now by tim cavanaugh managing editor for reason dot com thanks for joining me ten. why do you why do you think it is that the that they're taking such and president and measures i mean i thought it was kind of in the bag for romney at this point it is in the bag for the ron paul himself has more or less withdrawn from the field so i mean it's unnecessary p.r. headache there a lot of people in the republican party who have this feeling like we want to really openly purge the ron paul supporters their argument being that these are not real republicans they sort of come into the party you know by convenience just because of ron paul who's an outlier who happens to believe in what all the things that the republicans say they believe in so why do you think it is that they're just doing it just to exclude and try to just you know say that you're not part of the real i think they're really. yeah i think they want to make examples in some cases just to say we can make our own rules and they can make their own rules i mean you know we want to remem

ron paul has been working at delegate strategy from the beginning we've been covering a lot at reason dot com i would recommend the book even if you weren't a colleague but ron paul's revolution by brian doherty is a good place to catch up on how they have been working it in this campaign and what what the game plan is now in the important thing here is that there is a large force of ron paul people they are not officially married it's more of a common law arrangement with the republican party so you know that there their needs have to be taken into account they talk about something serious they talk about a lot of things that are foundational to what america is what the united states of america is and they need to be taken seriously whether they will stay with the republican party is interesting and how they will behave now that you know spartacus himself is not on the battlefield it will also be interesting to see what do you think about rand paul's recent endorsement for romney. you know as ron paul always says we have discipline in our family but they don't they don't make the rules on wh

and what does it mean for you to discuss this i was joined by nick gillespie editor in chief of reason dot com and the co-author of the declaration of independence how libertarian politics can fix what's wrong with america. i think you're absolutely right this is a huge win for barack obama and it's not necessarily a crushing defeat for the republicans or for mitt romney or for opponents of obamacare but it's not a great day. but for the american people i think you know there are reasons not to go not to be happy about this and the first is you know that the supreme court essentially said there are no limits to what government can make you do or not do they didn't use the commerce clause as before think about they relied on the taxing power but that's troubling the second thing is is that you know from a financial point of view and you can talk about the politics of and stuff like that but there's no question that obamacare is going to be massively expensive and it's going to be many much more expensive than we were led to believe and then the third reason is that there's a very little reason

cost to our system to discuss this i was joined earlier by nick gillespie editor in chief of reason dot com and the co-author of the declaration of independence how libertarian politics can fix what's wrong with america. emergency room care for instance is something like two percent of all health care spending so it's not it's not a huge amount and it's simply a fiction to say that people who are denied regular health insurance don't go to checkups and then they end up with a new emergency room and they have major problems it's just not that big a problem in terms of the pricing of health care but you know if you stand on the margin say room visits are better than people who aren't insured but it is but it is overall it's only two percent of all dollars spent on health care in a given year so let's say you get rid of that you've taken things down from one hundred cents to ninety eight cents it's not a big savings us why shouldn't we force everybody to have insurance and there's a there's a bunch of reasons first off is that you know health care is not something that everybody should be forc

associate editor at reason dot com welcome ad so let's talk a little bit more about who exactly as cashing in on putting drones in our skies shore i mean like the report you just said it's the same thing that is contractors that work with the defense with the defense department today they're the ones we're building them you know northrop grumman but there's also who are two drones available smaller ones obviously for personal purchasing and that's by a wide variety of companies that create those but most of the drones i think that will be used by law enforcement once that's allowed in twenty four thousand are likely to come from the same companies that are building drones being used in august and. somalia and pakistan which there are now out of this drone lobby has become a very powerful lobby so can we expect their influence to only grow. yes i mean that's the game right. you've got we've got a government that spends you've got companies that want to spend money to have the government spend on them so that's the cycle and so why exactly how many drones are we talking how many drones can w

reason dot com gentlemen thank you for joining me alone i can't wait to hear what you think about this latest story now normally when we hear about people not being allowed on flights these days it's because they are on the no fly list right somebody thought they look like a terrorist but they were actually that too fat another one but now cleavage apparently is allowed to either take a look at this. false self was there one screwed up again this is what all the told was wearing when she was told to get off of white from los vegas to new york she says she was told she wouldn't be allowed to board the plane like that because her cleavage was inappropriate. i'm going to pour in question for you if i'm ready i've bothered to all. had looks like you know playboy playmate would anyone have told her to that's a very cleavage away this is not about her having. course but. to their discriminating again i do i think there's just made some joker at southwest airlines working at the gate uncomfortable i think that's all it is i seriously doubt it's a company policy and i bet you like five minutes
